Post subject:  OME Lift

Ok, so I am visiting my parents in Georgia for the weekend and my father and I went to a 4wheelparts store. I thought they were only online since there is nothing like that up north. Who knew. Anyway I asked about aftermarket parts for a KK and the guy basically said good luck. We got talking about what is out there and I happened to mention that I heard there was an Old Man Emu lift for the KK but wasn't available in the states. Well, he looked on the computer and printed this out for me. Part numbers are at the right.

He also gave me prices which I scribbled down near what they were for. Front springs were $155 a pair, rear $159 a pair. Front struts were $148 a piece and the rear shocks were $86 a piece. Unfortunately, the lift is only 1.5" and the fine print says it may only lift it 0.75" but it is another option. Kindof pricey if you get all of those parts for only 1.5" of lift but it is apparently available here in the US.

My thought would be to add some of these parts with say, an RK lift to get up near 3.5-4" but I'm not sure what that would do to other suspension parts. If the size is too small to see I have it scanned so I can email to anyone interested. Just send me a PM.

Also spotted a nice lifted JK with an ARB front bumper at Atlantic Station on Thrusday afternoon couldn't get a picture though. Anyone here? :D

I had emailed about the OME kit and got the same spec sheet minus the price but with only 1.5" of lift I suspected that any price is too much...

the OME lifts are always advertised shorter then they actually are. plus if your suspension has sagged a significant amount it will seem like you get more.

The front springs are the same as the KJ. (927, 928, 790)

It's that dang rear........ we need the 730 and 731 springs.

you guys should start emailing companies that sell OME and see if they can get ahold of the rear springs. i tried boulderbars a while back, someone could try again. Maybe Marlin at Jeepinbyal could get his hands on some?

The 1.5 inch is for advertising/ Insurance purposes, so don't take it as fact.
Did another KJ lift yesterday with 927s in front with a 3/8 top plate and took it from 18.5 to 22.5 of course it will settle some but just to give you an idea :wink:
